Fixed Star Capulus 23° or 24° Taurus

After I wrote it, I realized my question about my own involvement with Algol men had not been fully answered. That’s when I started to take a closer look at Capulus. I don’t have Algol in aspect, or paran to any of my planets or angles but I do have Capulus Conjunct Saturn in the 4th house, but not in paran to anything.

My first draft was wrote on November 17 2012, and the world transits related to Capulus at the time were: Capulus in Opposition to Sun & Mercury Rx in Scorpio and Capulus is Conjunct SN Taurus within 2°.

Publishing this on November 24, 2012, Capulus is Conjunct the SN, as is Algol.

The Perseus Myth

Fixed star energy is deeper, and stronger in my opinion, and basically sets the stage for our life.

The fixed star material I’m bringing up in this article is not easily accessed in talk therapy because it resides as a hidden layer under our regular natal chart (an undercurrent). When I say, “regular”, I mean the standard planets and signs that we readily find in a chart.

And while I find the planets of our natal chart describe who we are, the fixed stars seem to be the myths we play out, often with our soul mates (SN stuff). Fixed star energy is deeper, and stronger in my opinion, and basically sets the stage for our life. Therefore, it’s very important to know what river flows beneath the sand, and work towards applause, rather than boos.

And that’s what I hope to accomplish in this article. I hope that you’ll be able to uncover compulsive (covered and deep 8th house material) behavior so that you or the ones you care about may begin healing and putting an end to destructive myths being played out. But not only that, I want you and those you care about to achieve greatness — to take the next evolutionary step of self-awareness and self-development.

Many say that myths are untrue. If that is the case, take advantage of that — see what you do, for what it really is — false action.

Legend has it that “Zeus visited Danae in the form of a shower of gold and got her pregnant with Perseus. As a young man Perseus undertook a mission to kill the Medusa. He was furnished with the sword, cap and wings of Mercury and the shield of Minerva (Athena). He killed the Medusa by cutting off her head and afterwards killed the sea monster Cetus and then rescued and married Andromeda. [Robson*, p.56.]”

To sum it up, for the purpose of exploring the effects of Capulus on a native, an oracle of Apollo told Danae’s father that her son would one day kill him.

So when Acrisius found Danae (his daughter) had a baby, he cast them out to sea in a large chest. They were saved by the brother (Dictys) of the king, and the king, Polydectes, wanted to marry Danae but she rejected him.

Polydectes set up a rouse to egg on the ego of Perseus. He challenged Perseus to bring him the head of Medusa!

In his journey to slay the head off of Medusa, he received help from Hermes, and Athena (Minerva) — giving Perseus the sickle of Cronos (Saturn) that was used to overpower Uranus and that Zeus used against Typhoeus. Athena also gave him a shield to protect him from the image of Medusa. Hermes gave him winged sandals. He also received from the Nymphs of the North, the cap of darkness (invisibility), and a “magic wallet” to put the head inside.

In the end, Perseus successfully slayed Medusa. He also accidentally hit Acrisisus with a discus in a game on the way back to King Polydectes, and that’s what killed him.

The main players in this story

Acrisius, father of Danae

Danae, mother of Perseus

Perseus, immaculately conceived and is the son of Danae & Zeus (Pisces transformed into Aries or Scorpio?)

Zeus, father of Perseus (Jupiter, Sagittarius and yet connected to Taurus as he at one point turns himself into a white bull)

Polydectes, the savior (through his brother) of Dane and Perseus

Adromeda, whom Perseus got released her from the rock, and married. Poseidon had punished her for her mother’s misstep by chaining her to rock to be sacrificed to a sea monster.

Hercules, son of Zeus and also a descendant of Perseus and Adromeda

Planetary Connections

While I connect Algol to Mercury or Venus (in aspect to Pluto especially as a square or opposition), I connect Capulus to Mars / Mercury (in aspect to Jupiter, especially as a Trine or Sextile). Truly these stars are partners: Deep, and penetrating. Alive, you’ll feel. So Algol is like Venus, and Capulus like Mars. Venus Conjunct or Opposition Mars! With the potential of being Venus Trine or Sextile Mars. They can make a good team / pair or be totally at odds with each other!

I connect Jupiter to Capulus because he traveled far distances, and had a righteous attitude at times. And Mars for the fighting, and brave spirit. Capulus is not hidden. It is in your face.

“He was furnished with the sword, cap and wings of Mercury and the shield of Minerva. ” This is one reason why I say Mercury and Pluto are connected to Capulus. Athena is connected to Mars (Aries) but Pluto (Scorpio) is the female version.

A New & Modern Interpretation: Capulus

Traditional and not-so traditional meanings of Capulus include:

It causes blindness or defective eyesight (all clusters of stars or nebula have this effect). [Robson*, p.154.]

Al Biruni refers to it as one of the four most nebulous stars but dismisses the suggestion (frequently attached to nebulous clusters) that it causes blindness, arguing that vision is represented by the luminaries and this cluster is too high in latitude to fall on their path. [2] , Skyscript

When prominent in a natal chart it is said to denote adventurous individuals, but also those who are less than honest in their dealings with others. [Fixed Stars and Judicial Astrology, George Noonan, 1990, p.14.]

“Capulus energy is clear. decisive, focused, and possibly even ruthless: an “If it can be touched, weighted, or seen, then it has existence” mentality. Perseus’ sword is the male kundalini energy, the partner to Algol”, Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars, Bernadette Brady, Page 193

“Capulus natives have zero tolerance for the monster within others. Any beast shall be slayed, firmly and swiftly. Algol natives, who also have Capulus, are demons and slayers.” Abella Arthur

“Capulus imparts power of thought, a quick mind, and realization of ideas and plans. There are also indications that you are ambitious, or competitive, which at times can cause rashness, indecision, and changeable views. A love of conversation and debate is also indicated by this star and endows you with impressive speaking abilities and quick repartee. Capulus warns against using talents in a destructive manner, sarcasm, and becoming involved in controversies.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, this star bestows persistence, endurance, determination, and an ability to focus your energy. Caplus’ influence enables you to achieve a prominent position in your field and may also encourage you to study philosophy, astrology, or metaphysics. Alternatively, this star may indicate success in dealing with the public at large.

“… our hero is not able to look directly at the opponent that confronts him. Instead, the willingness to go on the offensive as suggested by the sword, (Mars), must be tempered by cunning or intellect, (Mercury); otherwise Capulus will suggest a passionate energy which dissipates or turns inwards through a lack of focus.” , Skyscript

“These people feel split and are on a quest to find themselves. This unease makes them very driven. They want to play the hero and see themselves as the “good guy”. Some have a love/hate relationship with their own power and may even be afraid to use it. However when they do finally, it is NOT subtle.” Darkstar Astrology

“The overarching theme of Algol is improper conduct, and Capulus natives persecute (as in, Perseus) that conduct. Some natives, that have both Algol and Capulus, persecute their own improper conduct and this impropriety often generates shame. Capulus (with or without Algol) natives also persecute Algol or Algol type behavior in others.” Abella Arthur

The Myths

Don’t stare the monster in the face, or it will be the death of you. Perseus was able to avoid death by avoiding Medusa’s gaze through using his shield to monitor her reflection.

I’ve found that Algol natives can become narcissistic adults, due to the the smothering and over attention given to them by their mothers — the exact opposite that Capulus natives usually experience (Algol / Capulus natives may experience both extremes).

Capulus, Algol, and the Medusa myth ties into the myth of Narcissus. There are common threads between the myths such as Narcissus being the product of a rape, and being a descendant of Oceanus.

In the Narcissus myth, 1. a sword was involved wherein an admirer of Narcissus (like Algol) was indirectly told to prove how much he loved Narcissus, by killing himself. 2. Artemis (like Capulus) made Narcissus fall in love with himself as punishment for planting the seed for another to destroy themselves. and 3. Narcissus is not in love with himself, but a reflection of himself — the reflection the Algol native tries to project onto a Capulus native or inflicts upon himself if he also has Capulus. In either case Capulus will attempt to cut the damaged parts out, by turning the mirror around.

Oddly, I have had a reproduction painting of Narcissus and Echo on my bathroom door for years that was given to me by one of my Algol exes parents.

The word gavel brings to mind the word judge. Capulus natives lay down the law. They are no nonsense ball-breakers! An interesting thing is that I liken Capulus with Mars, and Algol with Venus, whereas the keyword “judge” is most aligned with Libra (Venus) so it’s a dance between these two fixed stars, for sure.

God’s Acre
Comes from “German Gottesacker, from Gott (God) + Acker (field). The allusion is that the bodies of the dead are sown in the field in hope of resurrection.” Source

This reminds me of how the Chinese viewed Algol influence — a Pile of Corpses. Perhaps Capulus takes the bad, and tries to turn it into good. Or Capulus challenges Algol to move to a higher ground, a higher place — to end their misery. Capulus resurrects Algol.

This reminds me of the word persecute: ” to pursue with harassing or oppressive treatment, especially because of religion, race, or beliefs; harass persistently or to annoy or trouble persistently. worry, badger, vex, bother, pester. ” Source

I won’t let something go easily. I won’t let someone hide, pretend, and to blame the outside, or shun responsibility for their actions. I pester persistently. Yup, I’ve done that. And generally for the health of both myself and the other as the motivating reason. In other words: if I don’t care, I won’t pester. But I don’t want to do it anymore. It seems to hurt me more, and not help the other — so working on it through this article to solve the problem!

Sayings

Off with his head!

Stop right there!

Capulus cuts off heads through bravery, masochism, lack of patience, self-defense, or ego.

The overarching theme of Algol is improper conduct, and Capulus natives persecute (as in, Perseus) that conduct. Some natives, that have both Algol and Capulus, persecute their own improper conduct and this impropriety often generates shame. Capulus (with or without Algol) natives also persecute Algol or Algol themes in others!

From the cradle to the grave!

Ab cuna ad capulum means from the cradle to the grave. Source So from Algol to Capulus!

While the basic meaning of this say refers to ‘a lifetime’ — from birth to death, I also I interpret this as: We made you, and we can break you.

Capulus is the masculine myth connected to the father (Capricorn), and Algol is the feminine myth connected to the mother (Cancer). Capulus and Algol represent the story of how mother and father makes and breaks their children.

The idiom, From the cradle to the grave, further indicates how Capulus is the last stop. ie. The buck stops here, and Put a cap on it — other Capulus related sayings.

Cutting off the Nose to Spite the Face

It was not uncommon in the Middle Ages for a person to cut the nose off of another for various reasons, including punishment from the state, or as an act of revenge.[4] Cognitive scientist Steven Pinker notes that the phrase may have originated from this practice, as at this time “cutting off someone’s nose was the prototypical act of spite.”[5]

The expression has since become a blanket term for (often unwise) self-destructive actions motivated purely by anger or desire for revenge. For example, if a man was angered by his wife, he might burn down their house to punish her; however, burning down her house would also mean burning down his, along with all their combustible personal possessions.

In the 1796 edition of Grose’s Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, “He cut off his nose to be revenged of his face.” is defined as “one who, to be revenged on his neighbour, has materially injured himself.” The word “spite” is used in the sense of revenge and “face” is used in the sense of honor. Wikipedia

Ball-breaking

“A ball-breaker is a demanding woman who destroys men’s confidence or it’s a job or situation that is demanding, arduous, and punishing.” Source

I believe I’m a bit of a “ball breaker”. One of my exes said he was “emotionally constipated” until he met me. He has Mars Conjunct Algol. I imagine, I am and have been the counterpart of Algol men. I’m known for not taking crap. Capulus is connected to Mercury, and that means that natives with Capulus in their charts tend to be mental slicers and dicers — that, I am. If it smells like crap, it is crap, and the Capulus native isn’t afraid to communicate that.

Capulus often sounds to me like Cap you-r ass. To me, that means attempting to put an end to a**hole behaviour.

I believe there might be a strong indication that Algol natives have narcissistic tendencies if not having full blown NPD. Sam Vaknin, writer of Malignant Self-Love: Narcissism Revisited (and also a self-disclosed narcissist) stated that narcissism is caused by “overweening, smothering, spoiling, overvaluing, and idolizing the child”, and are “all forms of parental abuse.” Capulus natives rarely entertain any of this even if they might fall in love with an Algol native (or be an Algol native who is in love with himself, not really). However, they can be seen as invasive and end up spending too much attention on the Algol partner. As I wrote in Fixed star Algol, Taurus: The Sexual, Emotional, & Psychological Drives of Heterosexual Men with Algol, their mate (often a Capuuls one) takes on the role that mother did — at least, the native attempts to create that dynamic as much s they’ll reject it later.

Capulus natives have strong BS detectors, and will shut down anything that appears as abusive or improper. Unfortunately beating another up, or oneself (if the native has Algol too) can be destructive and not helpful. Having said that, Algol natives are highly attracted to Capulus natives and vice versa as they try to play out their myth to completion.

Venus in Furs

“Everything is suggestive of coldness: marble body, women of stone, Venus of ice, are favorite expressions of Masoch; his characters often serve their amorous apprenticeship with a cold statue, by the light of the moon.”, Giles Deleuze Source

Capulus Women: Role Reversal, Relationships, and Male Sexual Energy

Polaire dressed in men’s clothing — role reversal

Capulus women are CAPtivating (to seize, to capture).

If you’re a Capulus woman, partnered with an Algol man or woman — you’re often working with role reversal. Capulus women tend to have a masculine edge (sexual too), ultra strong, and no nonsense disposition with a tough exterior yet a softness that is clearly seen lurking behind. There also seems, at times, a sadness.

Algol men tend to have a feminine edge (sexual too), weakened, and victimized disposition with a sensitive exterior yet a hardness is clearly seen lurking behind. There also seems, at times, an indifference.

Both are intense creatures, and can become vicious when feeling attacked. They also have a crafty / strategic nature.

Capulus is the masculine myth connected to the father (Capricorn), and Algol is the feminine myth connected to the mother (Cancer). Capulus and Algol represent the story of how mother and father makes and breaks their children.

Capulus women most likely identified more strongly with their father, while growing up, rather than their mother — yet their father were often unavailable to them or they may have sought their approval. The reverse is true for the Algol male. The mother of these men provided too much availability, and approval.

A Capulus woman is the counterpart of the Algol male. Algol men need and appreciate that, even if they fight it. It’s the much needed reality check.

The Capulus native acts as judge and jury, and self-punishes in an honorable way. Unlike their Algol counterparts, many Capulus women did not receive the nurturing they needed. This caused them to become extremely self-reliant. They can not only take care of themselves, but take care of others — others, who by all rights, ought to be taking care of themselves. The Algol native, often can only take care of themselves (if that), and when they self-punish it is more like self-berating. It is not honorable, or of a higher mind.

The unfortunate situation is that in a relationship, the Capulus native will berate the Algol native without being aware of their self-berating since they do not operate in the same manner. When the Capulus native punishes themselves, they accept the punishment for any crime (mistake) done. They rarely feel bad about redressing the situation, and take full responsibility for their actions. Naturally, they will believe the Algol native will do the same and trouble brews when they don’t.

The key is to make the punishment fit the crime. Sometimes Capulus overdoes it with Algol. Again, because Algol already does self-berating, it doesn’t need any more from Capulus. And it’s especially problematic when the native has both Algol and Capulus in their chart.

While browsing the natal chart section of this article, I hope you’ll notice that all the pictures of Capulus women show an intense and unabashed sexuality which is often considered typically male. Capulus women ooze sex appeal, without trying. There is a message in their appearance and physical energy that says to the viewer: I’m confident about my sexuality, and you may get to experience it (in some way) if you’re worthy.

To Algol natives, this is like sniffing candy. What the Capulus woman has, they want. It’s what they are unfortunately missing, as an adult, because of Mommy Dearest. There are mixed up sexual / control themes that he tries to live out with his lover — hoping to turn the tables. This is another reason why he is enamored with the female’s male sexual energy. He hopes to turn her back to her natural state, so-to-speak — one he does not fear. So the Capulus woman is to any man, one that is feared yet revered.

To say the least, both Capulus and Algol natives are intense sexual creatures of mythical proportions.

Capulus natives have zero tolerance for the monster within others. Any beast shall be slayed — firmly and swiftly. Algol natives, who also have Capulus, are demons and slayers. They can demonize their prey, and slay them when they fight back. It’s quite the dance. The demon slayers would do well, slaying their own demons while leaving their romantic partners alone. That, or using their demon slaying powers in their jobs — where it would be appreciated.

Sample Careers

Having Capulus (with or without Algol) is a great placement for a lawyer, judge, criminal investigations, police work, or someone working in advocacy, interventions, or activism. It is also great for anyone who needs to cut through diamonds to find the gems. Business people do well because it requires a certain constitution and ruthlessness to make it to the top. Ruthlessness, as it relates to finding and seizing opportunities quickly and without mercy. Actors with Capulus do well in movies and shows that have themes of destruction, against all odds, or persecution of criminals. Vocalists and song writers do well with writing about heavy duty (and often, taboo) social material in powerful ways. Michael & Janet Jackson, and Barbara Streisand come to mind.

Highlighting a Capulus Trait in Famous People

Taurus is related to art, beauty, money, stability, security, home, values, self-worth, sensuality, etc. Many people who have Capulus (and/or Algol) are also artists, and people who commit crimes of passion (often related to the aforementioned themes).

The following Capulus natives were fascinated and became famous for their fascination of the heads of themselves or others. Some natives manifest this fascination in constructive ways, while others manifest it in destructive ways.

Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera

I’m no longer surprised that I had such a connection. When I had discovered her, I had been at the tail end of a very difficult break-up with a Mars Conjunct Algol native. And her and I also share Capulus.

“I am the woman of myth and bullshit. They thought I was a surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” Frida Kahlo

Yes, she most certainly was playing out a myth, primarily Algol & Capulus and the myth of Medusa and Perseus.

At the gallery, I was listening to a pre-recorded message by Dr. Salomon Grimberg, Kahlo expert and author of Frida Kahlo: Song of Herself. In it he said, “Diego enjoyed being cruel and mean to her” but Frida “didn’t want to be abandoned” so she “went along with it” and didn’t leave. Algol natives have issues with abandonment. Dr. Grimberg said that Frida abused alcohol and pain killers, and was a “cutter”, letting people cut her, “through her operations”. He stated that Deigo was “as mean as the devil”.

Frida said of Diego, “I would always like to hold him like a newly born child”. This is Capulus energy of the Algol infantile wounds, that Algol natives are so keen on expressing.

“Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair” was the first self-portrait iconic Mexican painter Frida Kahlo created after her divorce from artist Diego Rivera. Renouncing the feminine image depicted in her other self-portraits, Kahlo (1907 – 1954) has just cut off the long hair Rivera admired, and is wearing a suit that was most likely his. Conveying the deep sorrow of her loss, the image appears to express Kahlo’s yearning for the freedom and independence of a man. The large empty space around Kahlo suggests the depth of her loneliness and misery, and the song verse above her reads, “See, if I loved you, it was for your hair, Now you’re bald, I don’t love you anymore.” Source

Vidal Sassoon

After watching a documentary about Vidal Sassoon, I decided to look at his chart and noticed he had shown a number of Capulus aspects. So I did some research on other hair cutters, and found Capulus to be prominent. Unfortunately I had forgotten that I put in a time of birth for Vidal that wasn’t correct. I still imagine that he has Capulus in paran to at least one of his planets. At any rate, I include him here because his signature very short (male sexuality ie Capulus) angular hair cuts and personality are very much Capulus inspired.

Raymond Bessone

Raymond Bessone (who inspired Vidal Sasson) was born on May 11, 1911 and has his Sun at 20° which creates a Capulus Conjunction to his Sun. At the time of his birth, Capulus was at 22° 57. While Algol has one getting their head cut off (by Capulus, no doubt), Capulus cuts people’s heads off (metaphorically or literally) as is the case with hair cutters, cutting the hairs off our heads.

God Control & Domination

Every myth, I have read to-date (less than two handfuls) seem to contain destructive interference by a God. The reason, thus far, seems to be related to gaining control and power over another God through other Gods, demi-Gods, or other earthly creatures. And the outcomes are often vicious, and without mercy.

Finding Strength and the Lessons in Capulus

I’ll probably come back to this section. I’m still thinking it all through. I know what to do for myself; however, I want to be sure the message I convey to readers is a pure one. As in, whatever I say is as purely related to Capulus as possible. Because I’m so close to the subject (having Saturn Conjunct Capulus), it has been a little harder to gain the objectivity needed. So refer back to the section: What the Myth Tells Us About the Fixed Star Capulus to gain a better understanding of the strengths, gifts, and lessons that Capulus can bestow.

For now, I can tell you that Capulus natives are strong of character and often, body. There is great potential for lifting oneself out of dumps, and achieving great success.

If you or your loved one has Capulus in their chart, these natives are often compelled to take charge of your life or situation because you or the situation has indicated, in one way or another, that there’s inability to self-manage. Often people reject this intrusive behavior (as they should) but unfortunately they don’t take control so the Capulus native is put in an odd situation of doing nothing when the raw energy of Capulus is to do. So where does that leave the Capulus native?

Their Algol counterparts need to, without a doubt, affirm and demonstrate they can self-manage and have proper conduct, and when they don’t — they take care of redressing the situation. Because if they don’t there are three things that could happen: 1. The healthy Capulus native cuts you out of their life, and you lose great support, 2. The Capulus native keeps cutting you because they care about you, but you continue to feel wounded, 3. They stop harassing you, but they also start ignoring you too, and are possibly ever-ready to move on. And frankly, they don’t care much about you in this scenario.

Capulus & You

Do you or your loved one have Capulus? Yes, you do. Fixed stars usually have a 1-3° orb. Capulus is currently at 24° and moves very slowly. Go see where on your chart 21-27° (depending on when you were born) Taurus resides. You may not have any planets, or celestial items connected to it; however, the house the degree resides will tell you about how and where Capulus can manifest in your life. Do note that Zauruk, and Algol are the next closest stars and are currently at 24, 26° so you may have one of those as well.

Finding other fixed stars: If you know the degrees of your signs, you can find your sign and degree at Rob Tillett’s or Astrology Notes website for fixed star conjunctions and oppositions.

Aspect Delineation Sample:

Saturn Conjunct Capulus: When you don’t know what to do, this native will. There is karma, testing, captivity, and hardship with this aspect but also wisdom, and valor to cut through and do what most won’t or can’t. Follow through, and carrying out of tasks and responsibilities are of utmost importance. It can cause depression if one is failing at their attempt to successfully cut out the crap. And there will be many blocks, and obstacles. Eventually, the native gains the maturity and wisdom in how to use their natural parental slicing and dicing skills to help those around them stand on their own feet. This aspect describes a native who believes in rules of conduct, and has a stoic temperament as well as a strong constitution. If people that get close to this self-controlled yet fierce native, don’t have strong morals or rules, the native will enforce their own, upon them, and with great tenacity. They will punish those that won’t or can’t punish themselves. Natives with this aspect can be ambitious, and find great success but only after the feeling that it took so long and so much work to get there. Given that Saturn relates to the world, the native often makes a strong impact on the world’s consciousness, especially for what they say. Valient action, relieves Saturnian boredom, and inspires a feeling of being alive. This native believes in being fair, and truly cares about the well-being of all but tends to be quite the stern ball-breaker and task master — often enacting tough love.

If you want me to delineate an aspect or angle that is made with Capulus or Algol, please book a session. I know a lot more about Capulus than I’ve written here.

Eye Color of Capulus & Algol natives. I wasn’t sure where to put this as it’s a small but notable characteristic of Algol and Capulus natives that popped out at me while doing research on these fixed stars. While the ascendant, and Sun often describe how a person will look or appear, I have found that Capulus natives tend to have very dark brown (appearing as almost black) eyes and Algol natives have light eyes in this order of frequency: Blue, Green, and Hazel (least likely, light brown) with odd flecks and coloring near the iris. It doesn’t matter their ethnic background either. If the native has both Capulus and Algol, eye color depends on which star is closer in orb that will determine their eye color. Often Algol is the stronger influence so if this is the case, the Capulus (with Algol) native will often have dark blue eyes if not still dark brown. I have no idea why this seems to be the case! If you have a theory, please share it in the comments section.

This article was inspired and received enlightenment through Sexy Beast — you know who you are and my own desire to fully understand what’s going on! Please take some time, as I have, to share your experiences, insights, and knowledge of Capulus. It’s the best thank you I could receive in thinking of and writing this article. And it will hopefully give you more insight when other readers see your comment and decide to post their own for all of us to benefit from.

Famous People with Capulus

I focused my Algol post on hetero men with Algol and the women they love and lose; however, I decided to make this one more open ended. A lot of Algol men will ALSO have Capulus, and men with Algol have the feminine Venusian influence while women with Capulus have the male Martian influence. In any case, in this section I focus on the women and highlight the men. 😀

Sun Conjunct Capulus

Countries and cities shining with Capulus influences: Kiev (Ukraine), Thessaloniki (Greece), Las Vegas (Nevada), Israeli Declaration of Independence (Country), Cambridge (City in United Kingdom), La Paz (City in Mexico). & First Miracle at Fatima (1917) Note: Don’t mess with these cities, and countries unless you want to be frustrated out of your yin-yang. They will slice and dice mentally and otherwise as the Sun Conjunct Capulus is the fierest of all aspects.

Women

“Polaire! The agitating and agitated Polaire! The tiny slip of a woman that you know, with the waist slender to the point of pain, of screaming out loud, of breaking in two, in a spasmically tight bodice, the prettiest slimness … And, under the aureole of an extravagant masher’s hat, orange and plumed with iris leaves, the great voracious mouth, the immense black eyes, ringed, bruised, discoloured, the incandescence of her pupils, the bewildered nocturnal hair, the phosphorus, the sulphur, the red pepper of that ghoulish, Salome-like face, the agitating and agitated Polaire!” — Jean Lorrain

Uranus Conjunct Capulus

Patricia Sun, Uranus Conjunct Capulus “When women are frightened, they get more verbal, more linear, more rigid, or controlling, and when they are fearful of their security. So that’s why women have the thing of being the nag, or the bitch, or the not nice female energy . It isn’t because she has the courage to complain, or the insights that the man doesn’t agree with. It has everything to do with the fear in the delivery, and the rigidity of the linearness of the delivery…. When women are under stress, they beat up men with their tongues, with their words.”

Book, Conscious Relationships … “They do [humanity] have to reach conscious experience which is part of the chaos… and simultaneous to this psychological awakening — although it’s very messy at the moment — is the technological leaps where we can be connected. It’s part of our evolutionary leap…”, Patricia Sun

To put her message within these videos into perspective, Ms Patricia Sun is Pisces Sun 0° Mercury (hence the soft spokenness, intuition, etc.), and Neptune Virgo (linear thinking with an intuitive twist) in the 2nd. 🙂 Each of us has our own natal chart (containing gifts of difference), and Patricia is asserting her wisdom. Patricia is naturally a linear / logical thinking because she has an Aquarius Moon and Venus. 🙂 I have a Moon and Venus in Virgo so I’m quite left brained oriented too. What’s your Moon, Venus, Mercury and if it’s in a water or earth sign are you more feeling or thinking?

wow, it’s been nagging me to look up algol in the back of mind, so I did today.. I really appreciate the advice you give for women attracted to algol men.. really hard to hear, but I’m so thankful to feel someone who could understand.. I discovered my twin flame’s nessus is conjunct his capulus, 2 degrees of algol. wondering if you have any comment on that.. it’s in his 4th house, as is his sun Saturn and moon..and also my moon conjunct his Saturn. It’s been 10 years, but you were so right about how they get into your head and I can’t get him out of my head or my heart.. sadly. We never fought, but we lost each other to a complicated set of circumstances.. We broke each others hearts, and I’ve never been the same. It’s felt like deep psychological wounds, betrayal, abuse and torture, ever since. with me nurturing him in creative ways, trying to get him to open up again.. He shut me out completely, after the deepest connection either one of us has ever felt.. I think he originally felt betrayed by me though it was completely accidentally, and now I feel like the one betrayed by myself and him.. Ive always telepathically loved him, and sometimes have visions and feel his pure love, but then I make the mistake of reaching out, and can feel him abusing his power over me in destructive ways. To make it more clear, I was pregnant with my best friend’s baby and didn’t know it, young and naïve. A lot was going on in my hormones and my souls vision for community.. I confronted my twin flame about some intense dreams and visions that had been recurring, he told me that he and his partner were getting divorced.. I was already in love with him unconsciously through my dreams, but didn’t expect to meet him the way we did, while his walls were down, his armor off for the first time I’d ever experienced.. we fell in complete and total Oneness together that neither of us could comprehend except for True Love.. but I was with another, and I made a big mistake.. it hurts so bad, because the man I was with was such a good and awesome friend/partner, but after finding my twin, our relationship never was the same, and crumbled after six years while twin gave me the silent treatment, manipulated me over facebook until I had left my family (not on purpose, but due to mental and emotional illness.) Soon after, my ex partner moved on and found another woman, now the stepmom of my daughter.. around the same time I found out my twin had gone back to his divorced marriage, and gotten her pregnant.. I’ve only seen him once since, very brief and intense.. dreamt we held each other that night.. So we’ve never shared physical abuse, but the psychological devastation has been extreme.. 9 months before the little guy’s birthday, which happens to be today.. his conception coincided with the timing of a song I sent to my twin.. and an event/performance in his town. like every time I connect with him, get too close to him, he connects with her, and it hurts me.. it’s so insanely painful, to not be able to communicate with him, my Beloved in any way but on the inside. I lost my confidence, my art and my spark since my last run in with his spirit/mind, when I got really close telepathically, accidentally, had been praying with angels a lot.. and ended up connecting deeper than ever over some text, emailed some amazing pictures, one with a rose quartz where a perfect heart lit up inside the stone, from the pure candlelight.. on an altar I built for him in prayer.. around the same time I could feel him with her, fighting, I actually heard them one night.. felt violent. but after our intense wave of reconnection, I felt him having sex with her, looking at me in my third eye.. it only got worse and harder to deal with until I eventually had to go on meds so I could get my emotions together.. ive since gone off of them. and he is always there in my mind and my heart, but I am handling it better, though still struggle. I really had to cut him away, and not reach out to him in any way.. but it is emotional torture, to not connect with him. ive found it impossible, to completely disconnect on the inside, it’s either love or hate.. not much in between.. Not really sure how to have other relationships, and feel right in them.. after this one.. his venus is on my chiron and mercury, and his chiron touches my venus too.. Holy Ouch .. I wonder about his household and his son.. I did have a dream about him years before he was born.. there are no mistakes.. Anyway, thanks for the insight.. I might delete this cause it feels kind of vulnerable.. but I’m curious if you have any thoughts on this nessus/capulus dynamic, for healing.. if there’s even a chance of that.. when I think of him I always get the marriage card, same with I ching, etc..
